Food Security

In 2016, a group of local food activists began meeting to discuss food security and agricultural related initiatives in Rossland. By Dec 2016. the 'Foodies' had developed the first draft of a Food Charter for Rossland. The group consulted with the community and presented their findings and the draft charter to Rossland City Council.

Council suggested that the group become a Task Force of the Sustainability Commission and in December 2016, the Task Force was formed.

The Food Charter was developed with input from organizations and individuals from our region who have an interest in food security and food production. A summary of the input received during the public consultation can be found in this report.
